iov_iter: Convert copy_from_user_iter() to masked user access
copy_from_user_iter() lacks a speculation barrier, which will degrade
performance on some architecture like x86, which would be unfortunate as
copy_from_user_iter() is a critical hotpath function.
Convert copy_from_user_iter() to using masked user access on architecture
that support it. This allows to add the speculation barrier without
impacting performance.
This is similar to what was done for copy_from_user() in commit
0fc810ae3ae1 ("x86/uaccess: Avoid barrier_nospec() in 64-bit
copy_from_user()")
